Dark Ishmael ignored Valken's blast of aura as nothing but a gentle breeze, not only that Valken wasn't his concern. He stared at Alduin who blocked his way from giving chase. Or so the dragon thought, the blade he carried in hand began to glow red, his own aura circulating around it. His eyes narrowed towards the great dragon. Then a smirk formed and with a gust of wind he flew at Alduin bring his sword up with intent of bursting right through the beast. Dark Ishmael had no memory of Valken left within so not a single thought bounced through his mind.

 The conflict behind him and the rush of dark energy caused Eliphas to turn around. It was then he figured it out. Dark Ishmael wasn't there to show him up, but to kill him and anyone who got in his way. He released a big breathe of air as he knew Alduin, his most trust ally was about to be destroyed. One part of him wanted to charge in and try to save Alduin, but another part of him wanted to turn around and chase after the fleeing elves. Alceone had betrayed him,... In that case there was nothing he could do but attempt to kill Dark Ishmael.

 Cassandra turned her head towards Kyoto as he voiced to defend Nova. She was a bit moved by it and would never consider him to have a lion heart. He was always so quiet and now hearing him speak changed her outlook on him. She looked then to Nova and then the Queen to see their reaction to his words. He wasn't exactly polite about it.
